Yes I bought from them directly. You can email them if you have problems

Thank you!

That's the way it is with Rolex watches

Well, it's all sorted 👍 The problem is that buyers have to rely on the sellers when they say the watch they are buying has been serviced.

@@MacroTime28800 I know, and it’s the good honest people that always get butt hurt

Glad you enjoyed it!

I've never worked on one but must likely they are the same. I've done 6R15 video, the Alpinist that that also has plastic. It acts as a 'fuse'. If you change the date or day at the wrong time when you shouldn't do it, it's the plastic that will break, not the other parts they interract with.

It’s not designed for opening so you will most likely mark it no matter what but shouldn’t damage it. If I remember correctly, I used a scalpel.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

I can imagine how you feel and I understand why you feel that way. Sometimes it’s not that easy, we all make mistakes, miss something, things go wrong whether we like it or not. My understanding is that he’s a watchmaker rather than a seller like in the case of my video where they did a very poor job just to sell the watch to make as much money as possible. If I’m correct, that’s not your case with an independent watchmaker. Perhaps he would be very embarrassed if you contacted him and told him what issues you have with the watch and he would gladly sort out the issues. As for the time it took, I cannot really comment on that. My case is very different, I have to rearrange the lights for every shot, reposition the camera, change the settings… It takes me far, far longer than most people would be prepared to wait for unless they have other watches and are not concerned about the time it can take to produce the video because their pleasure is in seeing the video of their watch being serviced. For watchmakers who do this for living, they may have a backlog, they may have to source parts that may not be so easily obtainable, they may struggle to identify particular issues… I truly understand how you feel and I don’t blame you. But maybe he is a good watchmaker, you say he was highly recommended, and he simply missed something. Most of us naturally feel we’re being ripped off when something goes wrong, but not everyone is bad, we’re only humans, we all make mistakes.

Thank you! Yes it wasn't cheap. It needed a lot of new parts and Rolex parts are expensive 🙁

Thank you very much! Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome. This is not a cheap hobby 😐

Someone did a dreadful job. And the fact that the dealer sold it as fully serviced makes it even worse, you can’t trust anyone.

Thank you!

I try my best 👍

@@MacroTime28800 I bought a reck OPDate (ref 1500, from 1965) in 1980. And had it properly worked on. It’s been my daily. I’ve suffered some bad service and I’ve learned how to source proper service. (Rolex factory once, and that was an expensive disaster. It’s been made right since by true watchman.) It’s been 1-2” day for decades. I figure it’s maybe at half life. So I anticipate another 30 more years of stunning performance and timeless appearance.

Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed it 👍

It sounds like the issue I had with this watch. The resistance in my case was the worn out bushing. It allowed the barrel and the ratchet wheel to tilt so much that the ratchet wheel was touching the underside of the automatic bridge. Hence the resistance when winding. It could perhaps be the same issue. You just don't know until you inspect it. I'd get it serviced sooner rather than later.

@@MacroTime28800 yeah, that’s what I figured. In my case, there’s no automatic bridge, the watch is a manual wind only, but surely something there is rubbing against something else that it shouldn’t. I stopped using the watch to prevent any further damage, but I’ll have to send it to service whenever possible. It’s hard to find people willing to and capable of servicing this kind of watch here in Brazil, at least close to home, most watchmakers only take simple servicing jobs and/or only work with simple watches, not mechanical chronographs. We have some very good watchmakers (Omega Authorized Technitians and etc), but they’re not accessible in a way that you can bring the watch yourself and talk directly to them, you have to send it via mail, and it takes a very long time for them to even perform an evaluation and send you a quotation for the service. By the way, loved your channel and your content, congratulations and keep up with the good work!! 😃

I think most people will have to post their watches to get them serviced and it can take a long time to get them back, it can take months. But eventually, you’ll have a nice watch that works well

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thank you!

Thank you!

I'm glad it helped!

Thank you, nice to hear you enjoyed it! I’d say that the art is perhaps in designing the movements rather than servicing them 👍

It's timeless 👍

Thanks for watching!

I sent an email to you.

I haven't received one 🙁

Thank you! Yes, the manufacturer always produces a service manual for the watch repairers. Not all, but many can be found on the internet, just like this Rolex 3035 👍

Thank you!

I didn't know at the time of making the video but it acts as a fuse. If the day or date is changed at the wrong time and something breaks, it will only be the plastic 👍

Thank you! I don't really know anything about colour grading. I play around with it a little and hope for the best 😊

Thank you! This is only a hobby I do in my spare time. Evenings, weekends, in the spare room when I get a chance to work on watches 👍

I'm afraid I couldn't tell whether it was serviced or not. It's only when you open it and start inspecting it you'll find out whether it was serviced or not.
